When the IOTLB device is enabled, the log_guest_addr that is passed by
userspace to the VHOST_SET_VRING_ADDR ioctl, and which is then written
to vq->log_addr, is a GIOVA. All writes to this address are translated
by log_user() to writes to an HVA, and then ultimately logged through
the corresponding GPAs in log_write_hva(). No logging will ever occur
with vq->log_addr in this case. It is thus wrong to pass vq->log_addr
and log_guest_addr to log_access_vq() which assumes they are actual
GPAs.

Introduce a new vq_log_used_access_ok() helper that only checks accesses
to the log for the used structure when there isn't an IOTLB device around.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
